Let's try an addition problem with decimals.
$1.75 + $3.32 =
$1.75
+ $3.32 = |
$1.75
+ $3.32 =
Step 2 Add two hundredths by moving two 1 point beads up. |
$1.75
+ $3.32 = NOTE: this moves ALL the hundredth beads to the record bar. This gives us ten hundredths which equals one. So we fix the representation as below. |
$1.75
+ $3.32 =
Step 4 Just push up another 1 point bead on the one's place value bar and then move the other beads on the tenth's value bar back. |
$1.75
+ $3.32 =
Step 5 Finally, add the three ones to give your answer of $5.07. |
